Default Hypertech Power Programmer Tuning on 98

I have a 98 LS1 with 4.10s and pulleys and a ram air lid. I never ran the power programming because I never had the courage to. Should I take the plunge?

let it take the plunge onto ebay or craigslist.

I would look at getting a dyno tune expecially if you plan for more mods in the future.


Moving to Tuning and Diagnostics for more reasons.

well the programmer takes so long to upload the program that if the battery gets just a little low then say so long to the pcm. Had it happen twice on the 98 I had. It takes almost 10min to complete, I now have efi live and it takes 20 seconds. Oh and there was no power change that I could tell

i went to use a hypertech powerpac on my car and everything i did for some reason it would make the car not shift.

i was only using it to tune for my thermostat and i went to drive away once the tune was on and my car wouldnt shift till i let off.

i used to use a predator and loved it actually i would for sure get one but i had to give it back kuz it was a buddies i really did like the predator though it just seemed nicer and better
